Chapter 1 Hardware Installation

1-1 Installation Precautions

The motherboard contains numerous delicate electronic circuits and components which can become

damaged as a result of electrostatic discharge (ESD). Prior to installation, carefully read the user's

manual and follow these procedures:

• Prior to installation, do not remove or break motherboard S/N (Serial Number) sticker or

warranty sticker provided by your dealer. These stickers are required for warranty validation.

• Always remove the AC power by unplugging the power cord from the power outlet before

installing or removing the motherboard or other hardware components.

• When connecting hardware components to the internal connectors on the motherboard,

make sure they are connected tightly and securely.

• When handling the motherboard, avoid touching any metal leads or connectors.

• It is best to wear an electrostatic discharge (ESD) wrist strap when handling electronic

components such as a motherboard, CPU or memory. If you do not have an ESD wrist strap,

keep your hands dry and first touch a metal object to eliminate static electricity.

• Prior to installing the motherboard, please have it on top of an antistatic pad or within an

electrostatic shielding container.

• Before unplugging the power supply cable from the motherboard, make sure the power supply

has been turned off.

• Before turning on the power, make sure the power supply voltage has been set according to

the local voltage standard.

• Before using the product, please verify that all cables and power connectors of your hardware

components are connected.

• To prevent damage to the motherboard, do not allow screws to come in contact with the

motherboard circuit or its components.

• Make sure there are no leftover screws or metal components placed on the motherboard or

within the computer casing.

• Do not place the computer system on an uneven surface

.

• Do not place the computer system in a high-temperature environment.

• Turning on the computer power during the installation process can lead to damage to system

components as well as physical harm to the user.

• If you are uncertain about any installation steps or have a problem related to the use of the

product, please consult a certified computer technician.

1-4 Installing the Memory

Read the following guidelines before you begin to install the memory:

• Make sure that the motherboard supports the memory. It is recommended that memory of

the same capacity, brand, speed, and chips be used.

(Go to GIGABYTE's website for the latest memory support list.)

• Always turn off the computer and unplug the power cord from the power outlet before

installing the memory to prevent hardware damage.

• Memory modules have a foolproof design. A memory module can be installed in only one

direction. If you are unable to insert the memory, switch the direction.

1-4-1 Dual Channel Memory Configuration

This motherboard provides four DDR2 memory sockets and supports Dual Channel

Technology. After the memory is installed, the BIOS will automatically detect the

specifications and capacity of the memory. Enabling Dual Channel memory mode

will double the original memory bandwidth.

The four DDR2 memory sockets are divided into two channels and each channel has two memory

sockets as following:

Channel 0: DDR2_1, DDR2_3

Channel 1: DDR2_2, DDR2_4

(SS=Single-Sided, DS=Double-Sided, "- -"=No Memory)

If two memory modules are to be installed, it is recom-

mended that you install them in the DDR2_1 and DDR2_2

sockets.

DDR2_1

DDR2_2

DDR2_3

DDR2_4

Due to CPU limitation, read the following guidelines before installing the memory in Dual Channel mode.

1. Dual Channel mode cannot be enabled if only one DDR2 memory module is installed.

2. When enabling Dual Channel mode with two or four memory modules, it is recommended that

memory of the same capacity, brand, speed, and chips be used and installed in the same

colored DDR2 sockets for optimum performance.

1-4-2 Installing a Memory

Before installing a memory module , make sure to turn off the computer and unplug

the power cord from the power outlet to prevent damage to the memory module.

DDR2 DIMMs are not compatible to DDR DIMMs. Be sure to install DDR2 DIMMs on

this motherboard.

Notch

DDR2 DIMM

A DDR2 memory module has a notch, so it can only fit in one direction. Follow the steps below to

correctly install your memory modules in the memory sockets.

Step 1:

Note the orientation of the memory module. Spread the retaining

clips at both ends of the memory socket. Place the memory

module on the socket. As indicated in the picture on the left,

place your fingers on the top edge of the memory, push down

on the memory and insert it vertically into the memory socket.

Step 2:

The clips at both ends of the socket will snap into place when

the memory module is securely inserted.

1-5 Installing an Expansion Card

Read the following guidelines before you begin to install an expansion card:

• Make sure the motherboard supports the expansion card. Carefully read the manual that

came with your expansion card.

• Always turn off the computer and unplug the power cord from the power outlet before

installing an expansion card to prevent hardware damage.

PCI Express x1 Slot

PCI Express x16 Slot

PCI Slot

Follow the steps below to correctly install your expansion card in the expansion slot.

1. Locate an expansion slot that supports your card. Remove the metal slot cover from the chassis back panel.

2. Align the card with the slot, and press down on the card until it is fully seated in the slot.

3. Make sure the metal contacts on the card are completely inserted into the slot.

4. Secure the card's metal bracket to the chassis back panel with a screw.

5. After installing all expansion cards, replace the chassis cover(s).

6. Turn on your computer. If necessary, go to BIOS Setup to make any required BIOS changes for

your expansion card(s).

7. Install the driver provided with the expansion card in your operating system.

Example: Installing and Removing a PCI Express Graphics Card:

• Installing a Graphics Card:

Gently push down on the top edge of the card

until it is fully inserted into the PCI Express slot.

Make sure the card is securely seated in the

slot and does not rock.

• Removing the Card:

Press the white latch at the end of the PCI Express slot to release the card

and then pull the card straight up from the slot.
